Virus

3:41

#heart #fever #brain

i put a virus in your heart
which made it beat too fast
i put a shackle 'round your neck
and the shackle made your neck snap

i am very sorry for your troubled heart
and all the songs i sung
they all have been wrong

then you put a fever in my head
and the fever made my head crack
how can we both fall ill
from being too close or too far

when you beat yourself up
i tend to stand apart
what is it that ails you so
when you are in that zone

it’s a chemical reaction in your brain
which makes you go insane
and stops me from being brave

your virus has moved into my chest
and now it’s ready to burst
i carried you around on my back
but now my spine is cracked
